To sort on a column, click on the icon next to the column title

Entering new or modifying data. The columns need to be sortable. Therefore, when multiple entries exist for one publisher, start a new column for the new entry. Duplicate the non-changing information but include it in {{Hide|text}}. It is important not to use spaces after the pipe symbol - the sorting would occur on the space.

Name: Use the name as used by the publisher. If applicable, link to its own page. Do not sort on first names, "Edition", etc.

Plate No: Each # stands for one digit used. Put a space between letters and digits or ampersands, but not between letters. Use punctuation as used by the publisher.

Still exists as Carisch & Jänichen Musical Instruments - perhaps also as publisher? Needs looking into, I think (as do several other "2nd or 3rd tier publishers" that turn up once awhile). Seems to have printed some 15000 plates at least (Bloch sonata, 1956?) in that 60-year timeframe - does anyone know anything about them?

Do not know much about this publisher but their name and imprint seems to turn up fairly often - not so much on scores we have so far (14 times at most ) but in libraries generally I think. Possibly founded by C.A. Challier (d.1871) or (more likely?) renamed by him (to C.A. Challier & Co.)

Founded (as Falter'schen Musikhandlung) in 1786 (no prefix to plates); changed to Falter & Söhn sometime before 1820 or so (presumably as his son took over part of the business); purchased by Aibl in 1888. See Münchner Musik-Lexikon for some additional information.

Also Matthias Gray, M. Gray's Music Stores. Formerly Atwill, who sold his business to Matthias Gray (1829–1887) and William Herwig in 1860. According to Sixty years of California song (1913), soon after Gray's death the "immense" stock of music was "sold for a song" to Ditson. (Publisher page should probably be "Gray" for conciseness.)

May have absorbed or succeeded an earlier Breslau publisher, Schuhmann, and reissued e.g. some Liszt works originally published by same before 1852 or so when Hainauer-Verlag prob. started issuing music. Son of founder, Ernst Julius (1901-196x?), seems to have taken over at some point, left Breslau for England in 1933 after the seizure of political power by the Nazis ("Machtergreifung"), and founded Julius Hainauer Ltd. in London in 1936.

founded by Abraham Hirsch (1815-1900); taken over by his son Otto in 1884. For a few years in the 1840s published the weekly "Stockholms musik-tidning". Publishing house existed as late as 1920s and perhaps more recently (they were the first publisher of Sibelius' 6th symphony, e.g.) (First appears in HMB in 1843, as publisher of Carl Reinecke's Op.2.) In 1943, merged into Carl Gehrman ("Hirsch förlag bis 1943 , als die Firma in den Verlag Carl Gehrman aufging".)

Purchased by Ries & Erler in 1922. Plates as high as 101 or so (Wellesz' Lieder nach Dichtungen von Stefan George, ca.1920?) known, perhaps higher, though the possibly later orchestral suite Op.31 by Erich Anders may have gone without plate number altogether.

Publisher of low-priced Urtext editions. Editor's notes are freely available on the publisher's website. Many publications from the early to mid–1990s are unedited reprints of public domain editions like the Ricordi full score of Aida, etc.

Richard Krentzlin (1864-1956) published works for educational purposes, the works were printed in cooperation with a well-known partner (mostly Lienau), the partner publisher is printed on the title page too, plate numbers are usually from the partner publisher

The following information is available from the Edition Peters website (http://www.edition-peters.com/aboutus/history.php): "On 1 December 1800 the conductor and composer Franz Anton Hoffmeister (1754–1812) entered into partnership with the bookseller and organist Ambrosius Kühnel (1770–1813) for the purpose of establishing a 'Bureau de Musique' in Leipzig . . . . In 1806 the business passed into the sole ownership of A. Kühnel when it was officially registered under the name 'Neuer Verlag des Bureau de Musique' . . . . Following Kühnel's untimely death, the firm was acquired by the Leipzig bookseller Carl Friedrich Peters (1779–1827), who traded from 1 April 1814 under the name 'Bureau de Musique de C.F. Peters'." (see below, Edition Peters) However, there is at least one extant work (Crusell, Clarinet Concerto op.1) with Kühnel's name and 'Bureau de Musique', so it is unclear whether editions so marked belong to the 1800–1806 or 1806–1813 period.

(Also known as Bureau d'Arts (or des Arts) et d'Industrie.) acc. to "Beethoven and His World" (Clive), firm of music publishers, and dealers in maps and map prints, founded in 1801 by the painter Joseph Anton Kappeller & the lawyer Jakob Holer, under the name "Kunst- und Industrie-Comptoir Kappeller und Holer". Kappeller left in 1802; ownership of the firm changed about a bit and the name changed to "Kunst- und Industrie-Comptoir zu Wien". The firm was taken over in 1814 by Joseph Riedl von Leuenstern.They were Beethoven's principal publisher from 1802 to 1808 (when Breitkopf assumed that role; before 1802 this was Artaria principally, even though sometimes Beethoven had had some works published by Mollo, with sometimes quite negative results...), and in all, the K-a-I-Comptoir Wien published in all some forty first editions of his works. (Paraphrased from Clive.)

See Wikipedia. Founded by George Lyon (ret.1889) and Patrick J. Healy (1840?–1905), first as a music publisher, then also as an instrument (mostly harp) manufacturer. Bought by Steinway & Sons in the 1970s, and became specifically a harp-making subsidiary.

See Wikipedia article. First/early (or first Czech publisher, in other cases) publisher of many scores by Bohuslav Martinů, among others. Usually referred to just as Melantrich. (Nakladatelství - Publishing House.)

Founded in 1915 as a Stockholm office/subsidiary to Hansen, purchased in 1988 by Music Sales, sold to Fazer, then in 1993 sold to Warner/Chappell. Source: Orchestral Music: A Handbook. Still appears as an imprint. First publisher for quite a few Swedish composers (e.g. Allan Pettersson, others.) Appeared also as "A.B. Nordiska Musikförlaget".

Founded as "Southern Music Publishing Company" in 1928. Started using the "Peermusic Classical" imprint sometime in the 1960s? though used both for some time; now uses peermusic (lowercase p) exclusively. See Wikipedia; History at official website.

1969 book with history and possibly almost complete(?) list of this publisher’s plate nos. (Dana J. Epstein's Music Publishing in Chicago Before 1871: The Firm of Root & Cady, 1858-1871.) First Root & Cady, then Root & Co.; plates bought out by Brainard in 1871. A "Root & Sons" (imprint of Brainard? A separate company?) still published as late as 1882 however ? .

Th.J. Roothaan & Co.

TR&C ###

1851?-?

Amsterdam

Published a wide variety of music (chamber, piano, liturgical, vocal, symphonies, etc.) mainly? by Dutch composers. (Publisher "Louis Roothaan" also to look into?)

"Georges Schonenberger was an active publisher of music in Paris from 1830 to 1875" - "Breitkopf und Härtel in Paris : the letters of their agent Heinrich Probst between 1833 and 1840" (Lennenberg, 1990), "The Letters", p.28, paraphrasing Hopkinson, Dictionary, p.110.

Major (at first state-sponsored, one supposes?) Romanian publisher. Published (in some cases republished) very many (thousands?) of works (music & books about?) by Enescu, Rogalski, Wilhelm Georg Berger, Constantinescu, Mihalovici, others. (Sometimes edition nos., does not seem to use plate nos. or prefixes?) Though it seems to have begun before WW2, after the war and before the 1990s it may have been something like the Romanian analogue of Muzgiz and Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne e.g. perhaps? Don't know.

From www.josef-weinberger.com/about.html : Founded by Josef Weinberger in Vienna in 1885. (The London branch is credited in recent years as publisher of symphonies by Malcolm Williamson, new editions of works by York Bowen, among other works.)
